Temple Taggart, a former Miss Utah, said: 'I wish to march today in support of the other accusers as well for any other victims of sexual harassment or abuse'

She said: 'During the campaign, Mr. Trump threatened the accusers that he would sue them after the election.

'I do not believe that any woman who alleges that she was sexually assaulted should ever be bullied, and there should never be a threat which can be interpreted as a message to silence a woman who alleges inappropriate sexual contact.'

'Now more than ever, it is time to be brave and time to speak truth to power,' Allred said.

Temple Taggart, a former Miss Utah, said: 'I wish to march today in support of the other accusers as well for any other victims of sexual harassment or abuse.'

Taggart said that women and men 'deserve to be treated with the same level of respect and should not be viewed as mere objects for someone else's pleasure'.

She said: 'I can't help but think of how Donald Trump mocked a disabled reporter and how he belittled or bullied anyone with differing views, opinions, beliefs or backgrounds.'

Taggart revealed that her disabled brother committed suicide in December by jumping to his death from a parking garage.

'I hope to share my brother's message that we need to stop the hate,' she said.

Accuser Rachel Crooks (pictured) said on Saturday that she was marching 'to show solidarity with the women up here, all women'

Taggart told the New York Times that Trump kissed her on the lips during the pageant in 1997 when she was 21 years old.

'I thought, "Oh my God, gross"... I think there were a few other girls that he kissed on the mouth. I was like "Wow, that's inappropriate,"' she told the newspaper.

She claimed he later kissed her on the lips at Trump Tower.

Trump, however, told NBC News: 'I don't even know who she is.'

Summer Zervos, a former contestant on The Apprentice, said she was marching because 'it's important to show others who have been bullied that you can have the courage to stand up to bullies and to people who are in power'.

Zervos, who has previously accused Trump of sexual assault, announced on Tuesday she's filing a lawsuit against him for defamation. She held a press conference with Allred to announce the filing of the lawsuit in New York that alleges Trump used his platform to falsely denigrate her and other women who accused him of 'unwanted sexual touching'.

Prior to the election, Zervos accused the billionaire of inappropriate sexual advances, including groping her, when she met with him to seek career advice during a meeting at the Beverly Hills Hotel. However, she didn't file a lawsuit at the time of making the accusations.

Regarding the lawsuit, Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in a statement: 'More of the same from Gloria Allred. There is no truth to this absurd story.'

Porn star Jessica Drake said she was 'marching in solidarity with women everywhere, to let the Trump administration know that they will be held accountable if they infringe on the rights that we fought so long and so hard for'.

She said: 'I am horrified by the potential of the incoming administration, and I fear the consequences it will have.'

'Mr. Trump, we are watching,' Drake said.

Drake has claimed she was working at a 2006 golf tournament in Lake Tahoe when she met Trump. She says that he invited her to his hotel room, and she went back with two other women, DailyMail.com previously reported.

She's alleged that Trump kissed and hugged them all without their consent - and said she left after around 30 or 45 minutes but received numerous phone calls from him afterwards.

Trump, she's alleged, invited her back to his penthouse suite and, when she refused, offered her $10,000.

A spokesman told DailyMail.com in October: 'This story is totally false and ridiculous.'

Accuser Rachel Crooks said on Saturday that she was marching 'to show solidarity with the women up here, all women'.
